Why Fluorescence Microscopy?
Fluorescence microscopy is an essential tool across many fields of science and medicine. By labeling cells, tissues, or molecules with fluorescent dyes or proteins, researchers can visualize structures and processes that would otherwise be invisible under standard brightfield imaging.
Here are just a few key applications:
-
Cancer Research – Track tumor progression, monitor cell signaling pathways, or study specific proteins involved in cancer development.
-
Neuroscience – Visualize synapses, trace neuronal pathways, or study calcium signaling in live cells.
-
Pathology & Clinical Diagnostics – Detect infectious agents, identify abnormal cell growth, or enhance immunohistochemistry workflows.
-
Genetics & Molecular Biology – Localize gene expression, monitor protein interactions, and observe live cell activity.
-
Microbiology – Detect bacteria, fungi, or viruses using fluorescent tags, allowing faster and more accurate identification.
Microscope Systems, Objectives & Accessories
We stock a wide range of fluorescence-ready microscopes, including:
-
Olympus BX & IX Series
-
Nikon Eclipse Series
-
Zeiss Axioskop & Axioscope
-
Leica DM Series
Alongside these systems, we carry objectives (4X, 10X, 40X, and 100X) to cover nearly any application. Digital imaging is becoming increasingly important, so we also offer microscope cameras to make documentation and analysis seamless.
Filter Cubes, Light Sources & More
A crucial part of fluorescence microscopy is selecting the right filter set. At Microscope Marketplace, we specialize in refurbished filter cubes and fluorescent filters. If your application requires something unique, we can also source custom filters from Chroma, one of the most trusted names in the industry.
For light sources, we have several options:
-
Mercury Lamp Houses – A reliable, budget-friendly choice.
-
LED Systems – From Lumencor, Excelitas, and CoolLED. These offer excellent stability, are more environmentally friendly, and require no alignment.
-
Liquid Light Guide Options – For specialized imaging setups.
Whether you prefer tried-and-true mercury lamps or the convenience of LED, we have solutions in stock and ready to ship.
